After one and
one quarter years as a Global Studies major at National University, I am grateful for
this chance to reflect on what I have learned, if only because this reflection allows
me a chance to see how much there is left to learn about the world around me.

I believe this program has encouraged me to be more
mindful of the global impact of individual decisions and attitudes. As a result of my
time in this program, I am more aware of many serious global concerns, but I am also
more aware of the ways my actions can work together with the actions of other
individuals to enable change.

This portfolio includes those projects which I feel
represent my best work in the global studies program. Though I would likely construct
very different projects now that I am nearly finished with the program, I feel the
projects selected for inclusion are very honest attempts to understand the challenges
inherent in the changing of global relationships.

I have had the opportunity to take courses from some
very gifted professors during this time and am infinitely grateful for the skills and
techniques they taught me.

Thank you for your attention,
